In space between Earth and Mars, a formation of aerospace planes is traveling at a speed of 150,000 kilometers per hour towards the asteroid belt outside Mars. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the huge solar system, this small flying formation is inconspicuous, like a speck of dust in the human eye, and does not cause the slightest reaction.

The formation is in a triangular shape, and in the cockpit of each aerospace aircraft, there is only one mechanical octopus paying attention to the dashboard and radar screen. The other mechanical octopuses were in the crew compartment, with no sparkle in their eyes, apparently in a power-off state.

In the aerospace plane in the middle of the formation, the Ink One, or Lin Tianfeng, was in the cockpit.

As the leader of the entire formation, he will not sleep during the nearly three-month voyage, and will be responsible for bringing the formation to the asteroid belt, finding those two target asteroids, establishing a base in the asteroid belt, and finally sending the harvested things back to Earth.

The task sounds simple - after all, the Changying Group already has experience in establishing a base on the moon.

But it is far from being as easy as imagined. The asteroid belt is not like the Moon. After all, human footprints on the moon have been there, and unmanned probes have also explored it, so I have a good understanding of the situation over there. Even if it's Mars, human probes have visited, at least roughly the surface environment.

But in the asteroid belt, humans have only observed it with telescopes, and although unmanned probes have shuttled in the middle, they have not stopped to observe.

Lin Dong had information about the asteroid belt in his mind, but not too much. After all, there is no large-scale information trigger, the information of the asteroid belt, what Lin Dong can tell Lin Tianfeng is only about the information about those two asteroids.

Therefore, in many aspects, Lin Tianfeng needs to judge for himself.

As a pioneer of artificial intelligence, Lin Tianfeng knows how important his mission is, and he does not dare to be sloppy.

So, after making sure that the space plane would maintain high-speed autopilot, he began to re-study and refine the plan to establish the base, and assign tasks to the mechanical octopus.

The long journey was enough for Lin Tianfeng to complete these details one by one without missing them.

If it is a human being in this aerospace plane, then the flight speed will be much slower, first of all, the acceleration cannot be raised, and human beings cannot withstand high-intensity overspeeding like mechanical octopuses, so in the aerospace aircraft without human existence, the speed increase is obvious.

And although Lin Tianfeng has a human-like mind, he does not have the physical burden of a human being, as long as there is electricity in the energy battery, he can always be without resting. Of course, the necessary mechanical maintenance is still needed, but it does not affect his movements.

These are also one of the reasons why Lin Dong chose the mechanical octopus to build an outpost.

The entire journey took place in almost half black and half white. In space, the sun is just a high-intensity lamp in the night, although it emits a strong light, it cannot dispel the darkness, and it is completely different from the environment where there is an atmosphere on Earth. Even Lin Tianfeng only began to adapt after two or three days - since he had his own thinking, Lin Tianfeng became more and more like a human. Although this environment did not affect him, the word adaptation still allowed him to experience it in such an environment.

The process of flying is not all smooth sailing, and occasionally some meteorites and meteors will fly near the flight formation. Whenever this happens, the radar will give an alarm, and Lin Tianfeng will put down his work to deal with these alarms.

You know, in space, each other is flying at high speed. Even a small meteorite the size of a palm usually has a speed of tens of thousands of kilometers. If it is not dealt with in time, I am afraid that it can easily cause the destruction of the aerospace aircraft.

Of course, the odds of this are very small.

Lin Tianfeng had just finished dealing with an alarm accident and was about to continue planning about the construction of the base, when the signal and alarm sound lit up again on the radar screen.

Although Lin Tianfeng has dealt with many similar alarms, large and small, these days, he has not been as slack as ordinary humans - if it is an ordinary person, after habitually dealing with dozens of alarms that have no threat at all, he will only look at the alarms at most, and even turn off the alarms without even dealing with them, which is inertia and inertia.

But here in Lin Tianfeng, there is no such situation. He stood up and carefully examined the object displayed on the radar, analyzing the velocity, direction, and even the shape of the object.

"Huh?"

Originally, he thought it should be the same as before, just a meteorite, but seeing the larger and larger object, Lin Tianfeng's brows furrowed, and he turned on the active lidar screen and looked at it carefully.

According to the speed analysis, the object that flew near the formation this time will reach the closest distance to the formation in half a minute -- 1,500 meters, and then will pass by the formation and fly to the depths of space.

However, when he saw the shape of the object clearly, Lin Tianfeng gave an order: the two aerospace planes on the flanks of the formation broke away from the formation, took the attacking flying object as the target, adjusted the speed and direction, and made sure to capture the flying object!

The mechanical octopus in the two aerospace planes immediately began to operate in the cockpit, Lin Tianfeng's order was carried out to the letter here, and the next moment, the two aerospace planes immediately broke away from the formation and flew in the direction of the flying object.

Lin Tianfeng stared at the radar screen at this time, looking at the ever-growing object - it was clearly the wreckage of an aircraft!

And the reason why he didn't hesitate to adjust the speed of the formation and delay the time to establish the base to take down this wreckage was that the flying machine was fundamentally different from any known flying machine on Earth!

After scanning and comparison, Lin Tianfeng was ninety percent sure that the flying machine was not made by the earth civilization!

Lin Tianfeng is not the kind of stereotypical intelligent robot who only knows how to perform tasks, and his degree of freedom in this mission is very high, which is why Lin Dong chose him over. If it were just an ordinary mechanical octopus, when it encountered such an alarm, it would only adjust the position of the formation, avoid the flying objects, and then continue to fly towards the target.

But Lin Tianfeng, who already has his own thinking and has studied human knowledge through the Internet for a long time, knows deeply that human beings' pursuit of extraterrestrial civilizations has not stopped, and if the wreckage of this flying machine is proved to be done by extraterrestrial civilizations, then I'm afraid Lin Dong will have something new to do!

Lin Tianfeng is not one of those fantasists with romanticism, he is always vigilant about the possible existence of extraterrestrial civilizations - if there are really extraterrestrial civilizations coming, I am afraid that the possibility of invasion of the earth is far greater than peace!
